Put on your best yellow and blue gear and step outside as Jack drives through your neighborhood.

In addition to Jack, this year's special guest is Joe Sayler with the SDSU Men's Basketball team. 

Jack's Route

Jack and his crew will start at the SDSU Alumni & Foundation (815 Medary Avenue) and head south on Medary Avenue. He will follow the route below through Brookings.

Live updates will be shared in the Jack’s Journey Facebook event throughout the journey, giving an idea of where Jack is along the route and when he may be in your area. 

NEW: Looking for a place to catch Jack during the route? Come see him at Moriarty Park! Jack will be making a special stop there and would love to see you!
